So this Tuesday, I figured what the hell, lets try something different for a change. After a while, politics gets boring even for me, so I figured, lets take a break today from the ordinary and analyze some other headline makers in this country, haha whether they are actually news worthy or not is for another time. Now I know I mentioned that leftist Hollywood actors and actresses would be scrutinized for their politics, but as far as today is concerned, lets stick to shenanigans only. There's almost always a steady stream of celebrity gossip/news coming out of the media, but there have been a recent few that have upped the ante so to speak. That said, not all stories featured will be negative, after all, celebrities occasionally can strike a good note. Before we begin however, I should make clear that just like any other story, it'd be best if we steared clear of too much schadenfreude. While many of these characters haven't always been the best citizens, and yeah, maybe they are a little more conceited than the rest of us, hey, they're still people too and we've all done some dumb stuff in the past as well.
Alright, who's first!?
Bobby Brown was arrested in February for not.......wait, this is supposed to be news, moving on.
Kelis, also known as Kelis Rogers, a 2 time grammy winner and wife of rapper Nas, was arrested in South Beach in March after she began shouting profanities at two police officers who were undercover as prositutes working on a sting. Haha you all out the in blogosphere can write your own punch lines for that one. I would ask "why?" but, if we could understand why these things happen, they might not be in the papers as much.
Boy George was arrested 2 weeks ago on April 27th, after a male escort he hired accused the 80's icon of trying to imprison and hold the arm candy for hire for an indefinite period of time within his own home. Hold on, somebody get my old vinyl..."Do you really want to hurt me, do you really want to make me cry?" Well Georgie, we can only speculate, but we certainly can give you plenty of time, to realize your crime.
Former American Idol singer Jessica Sierra was recently arrested in Tampa for assault on a bar patron, and was later to have been found in posession of cocaine. Ex-star turns violent and is found with blow, that probably happens on the hour, every hour in Malibu, seriously.
Richard Hatch, the winner of the first Survivor series and the subsequent million dollar prize, is now serving 51 consequtive months for tax evasion. Listen man, none of us would like to pay that 40% tax after winning a million bones either, but look what you got yourself into. Now you're playing a different kind of Survivor, where your mental health and a preserved backside are the ultimate prizes. At least you don't have to put up with that annoying Jeff Probst anymore.
Ok, those were all compelling stories (well, not really), but now we come to big kahunas.
David Hasselhoff was recently filmed trying to eat a Wendy's double stack off the floor while teetering on the brink of an alcohol fueled consiousness. Dude, thats the college freshman modus operandi! And its not like this doesn't happen in Germany on a day to day basis as well. So no drunk driving, no fighting, no big deal right? Well, usually, but when his 17 year old daughter implores him to stop drinking, tells him he's about to lose his job, filming this usually private moment and broadcasts it on youtube, thats rough. Now he's lost temporary visitation rights to his kids. Anyone who knows a recovering alcoholic knows how hard it is for said afflicted to kick it completely. Hopefully the former Baywatch star can pull it together and clean himself up. And that goes for eating habits too, haha get some Taco Bell or something next time, Wendy's is terrible drunk food.
Paris Hilton, the girl who was said to have had so much negative publicity it could no longer damage her reputation further has well, damaged herself even further. The irony of course is that only Paris herself could smear what was thought to be unsmearable. The party queen set to inherit billions was sentenced to a 45 day jail sentence in SoCal for driving while intoxicated and later driving on the suspended lisence. The truly sad part is, I don't know which to believe, that Hilton could be so spoiled that she did not feel she could push the envelope, or that she was absent minded enough to "not mean to do it at all." Truthfully, I don't think this is all her fault, it's her parents' or whoever's responsibility it was to bring her up properly. Money doesn't have to equate to petulant behavior. The Queen of England's grandson, Prince Harry was at one point quite the party animal, but he changed course, joined the military, and is now set to serve the British Empire as a combat soldier in Iraq. If recent history has taught us anything however, it's that Hilton's notoriety will only garner more fame once she's released, scantily clad prison inmate photo shoot anyone?
Well, enough of the fall from grace stories. Lets finish on a high note.
The Queen of England, Elizabeth II is about to wrap up her 6 day trip to the good old U.S. of A. with a visit to the British Embassy down the road and then a flight back to merry ol' England. As one of the million unofficial spokesmen for the United States, I'd like to say "Thanks for coming." Seriously. While we may have been the only British colony to send our one time overlords packing in style (its ok Canada, at least you thought about it for a while), the special relationship that is the U.S. and the U.K. has never been better. As the cornerstone of the Western Alliance, and Western Civilization as a whole, we're fighting side by side in Iraq and Afghanistan, but just as big, we're also starting the NFL season in London this fall, now THAT'S big news. Coming to the Kentucky Derby was fun, but when the U.S. is willing to give you our opening weekend kickoff, it's worth taking notice. So, to her Majesty, I'd like to say thanks for coming and checking in on the most rebellious, and most loyal former child of the British Empire. Oh, and it wouldn't have been a real visit unless GW made some kind verbal faux pas at your expense, take it as a sign we still welcome you as family.
